Equipment

Large stock pot or heavy bottom pot
Piping bag or large ziplock bag
Paper towels for draining

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp melted butter

Cinnamon-sugar coating Powdered Sugar

3-5 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp per cup of sugar

Cinnamon-sugar coating Sugar

3 cups granulated sugar
1-2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl mix buttermilk, egg, sugar, vanilla and butter.
Slowly pour in the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
Add batter to a piping bag
Pipe dough balls into heated oil on medium high.
Remove once cooked and let dry on paper towels for 2-3 mins in a single layer

Cinnamon Topping

In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Blend well.
Toss in cinnamon sugar or cinnamon powdered sugar

Notes

When frying do tiny drops of batter into the oil (the batter will expand in the oil).
This will yield a very large amount of small donut holes. It’s best to let them dry in a single layer to help avoid an oily after taste in the ones on the bottom.
Let them dry completely before tossing in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar.
